I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …

Terrible Lie is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine. The track starts off with a dark sounding synthesizer and drum part, quite characteristic of this album to be honest. A heavy yet simple guitar part comes in which Reznor sings …

Everything’s Explodin’ is a song by The Flaming Lips and the opening track of their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a heavy guitar riff, the percussion violently enters the mix as the song begins to establish its main rhythm. To be honest, I was not personally …

Homecoming, the second musical epic of this album along with Jesus Of Suburbia, is honestly just as good as Jesus Of Suburbia in my opinion. I praise both of these tracks heavily, not so much because the parts themselves are brilliant but because the whole song is very well …

episodes, in part because of the flute music. This CD also contains …

In my top five of Patrick Swayze films is City of Joy, the story of a suicidal young doctor (okay, they edited the suicidal part out of the released film, but that’s who he was) who travels to India and ends up being rejuvenated. It’s a marvelous film …

Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …

Rascal Flatts in known for their slow, romantic, beautiful songs but I think that this one is very special. They sing with such passion and in avery unique way. This song is about a man who is obviously in love with a woman who he believes is absolutely the …

Jay-Z
“I Can’t Get Wit’ That”
This is a very old and very rare Jay-Z music video and single from way back in 1994, before his rags-to-riches single “In My Lifetime”. Some say that this was rare and unreleased. It’s called “I Can’t Get Wit’ That” and to be perfectly honest, …

When I first heard Phoenix’s new songs off of ‘Amadeus’ I found it to be absolutely amazing. My favorite tracks off it would have to be ‘Fences, and 1901′ the most popular tracks indeed. Although I found that after thorough listening, almost every song on the album began to …

Mercyful Fate is a medley which Metallica chose to include on their cover record, Garage, Inc. and is obviously a medley of songs from the band Mercyful Fate. For those of you who know and have heard Mercyful Fate you’ll obviously be able to point them out just by …

First off, I want to say that Linda Davis: Shoot for the Moon CD has a great liner jacket. On quality paper, all of the lyrics are printed in a readable fashion, with a decent font and light background. Better still for her fans, when you open …
